Optical or magnetic linear encoders are traditionally used to provide position feedback in applications with frequent product changes or and sophisticated machining. Linear encoders improve the ...

Designed for demanding industry and research applications of scanning, measuring, imaging, and alignment. (Nanowerk News) Global precision motion control and nanopositioning industry leader PI has ...

Linear encoders are the sensors that detect linear movements as absolute position values without establishing a physical contact with the object. Linear encoders play a crucial role in determining the ...

A linear actuator combines linear-motion components and a linear shaft motor (direct drive) in one assembly. Such an actuator creates motion in a straight line, in contrast to the circular motion of a ...

Optical encoders and transducers enable users to translate information from one code to another. Optical encoders come in different varieties including rotary encoders and linear encoders. The optical ...

Austria Microsystems expanded its magnetic sensor product portfolio to include the AS5304 and AS5306, two high performance linear Hall sensor ICs. AS5304 and AS5306 provide motion control developers ...

Last year, Automation World examined the differences between accuracy, resolution, and precision in the encoder world. And while understanding the differences among these terms is important to ...

There is an ever-increasing demand for accuracy in many manufacturing industries. Adding to this general need for higher accuracy is the fact that industry sectors such as semiconductors and ...

Thanks to the smooth-running precision linear guides with crossed roller bearings, the linear stage is particularly suitable for scanning applications with constant velocity. The anti-creep system ...

Designed for demanding industry and research applications of scanning, measuring, imaging, and alignment. Ultra-precise linear motor stage, with 1µm straightness/flatness and 1nm absolute encoder, ...
